...I'm here and registered in Blahaj instance but I'm not even remotely close to being queer? I'm a white straight guy getting married to a woman next week (can I get some honey for that) but I'm in full support of decent human beings. My fiance was asking why I signed up with the gay server, and it's because you guys are just nice and relaxed community. Also, our celebrant is a lesbian, but most importantly, my best friend and that's what matters, right?

I just came here because /r/196 had funny memes.

Thats how I landed there too. Also I really enjoyed watching the back and fro jabs with r/shitposting

its only a matter on time till you become one of us...…

in all seriousness, every one is welcome here. that's why there are so many queer people here we seek out welcoming atmospheres because we aren't welcome everywhere

Hahah my fiance always worries that I'm gay because I'm pretty flamboyant. Not to worry, I'm not gonna steal any boys from the community 🤣

that might be why you like to hang around gay people; if you presentation is "gay-ish," it's a type of fitting-in to be with people who commonly act like you, or at least don't raise an eyebrow at it. i'm glad you found a comfortable crowd to run in

Grats on the marriage you gay little straighty ;)

196 isn't just for gay people it's just the most welcoming space therefore queers of all "qinds" flock here. However I did realise I was bi years ago after browsing 196 for the first time so...

Hahaha I first joined 196 about 2 years (on Reddit) ago so I think I'm in the clear. Never say never tho 😄

idk man a lot of people enjoy the company of demographics they aren't. i feel more at ease with people older than me, and a lot of women prefer the company of men and vice versa. i think you for sure have a place with the lgbt crowd and you don't have to pick apart why that is to justify it

I'm a nonbinary person, but I'm here because the community on Reddit was cool and the memes were even better.

[-] Jediotty@beehaw.org 4 points 2 years ago

So at least on the subreddit, it was not a "trans community", but a "Trans positive community, with a lot of Trans people", so if that continues, which I would hope would, ur good lol
